Worse as in organized (and state sanctioned) gangs of marauders scouring the countryside looking for meat on the hoof, and killing anyone who gets in their way. <br /><br />Nevertheless, Mayor Wagner seems to be a damn good Mayor. He is a good problem solver, a good people person, and knows how to manage people and get things DONE. And he actually gives a s**t about his people. This is a relative rarity among politicians, national or local.<br /><br />It is easy for we readers of this near-future dystopian semi-fiction to second guess the characters and say to ourselves they should have done THIS, or they should have thought of THAT. But in reality, if faced with a similar set of circumstances, how many of us would always know exactly what to do and just when to do it? I suspect that in real situations such as those depicted here, only in hindsight would we be mistake-free most of the time. I find ERJ's stories thought provoking, because they get me frequently asking myself what would I do if faced with such situations.<br /><br />Besides that, these are just plain GOOD stories, the kind where you just can't wait to turn the page and find out what happens next.
